Mack NR-10
Hi There
This old Mack has been around the farm for quite a while . I didnt know how old it was for sure , but engine rebuild tag is from 1952 . Then I noticed lots of green drab paint showing under that lovely baby blue. So Im wondering if any one can tell by looking at the pics if this was military. thanks Anthony

Truck - yes, crane - no
The General Service part on the tag means it was originally an ordinary cargo truck, and the Supply Mech reference means made on contract for the Commonwealth Forces.
If you can get the number following the Supply Mech bit, then David on here should have contract details on file. Gordon

Hi Anthony, Most NR 8/9/&10 series Macks in Australia were soft tops but some were hard cabs. Here are some photos of of some of the soft top models and one I have recently sent off to a mate in Tumbarumba NSW.
Regards Rick

That blue Mack with a crane is a kind of mistery. From its chassis I'd say it's definetly not a NR-10. Dual rear wheels came into series starting from NR-14 model and to the later ones, NR-15,18,19,20. Also high filler neck of the fuel tank tells it was originally installed nearly after 1944 so looks like a NR-14 again. All those later NR's with dual rears were equipped with soft top military style cabs. So looks like the closed one was installed later. It keeps its misteries too. The dash board conteins military style instruments like the open cabs did. Mack closed cabs were equipped with nicely styled instruments off commercial Mack trucks of those years. But the dash itself had different form. Followeed the V-shaped wind screen on the closed cab insted of going straight along the flat military windshield frame. I don't remember seeing such dash bords at all. Talking about the cab I can tell it's a war time one since the cabs produced after 1945 had vent windows in the doors like the yellow truck has. Too probably the cab was taken off that NR-10 model which production year was 1942 or so.
